Pilgrims lighting butter lamps at #MemorialChorten in #Thimphu to gain merit and send their prayers to the heavens. It's interesting how in various religions, including mine - Catholicism, that the act of lighting a candle/lamp holds a similar symbolism. Definitely makes you think. And yes I'm terrible at updating, like that's any surprise at this point 😂 I guess this is also why it's important to truly, and fully immerse yourself in your travels instead of always twiddling with your social medias - because the emotions you felt at that moment will stay with you long after the journey ended 🙏🏻 #etjourn #etjourninbhutan #etjourninthimpu #bhutandiaries #bhutantravel #bhutantraveller #bhutan_ig

Pilgrims circumbulating around #MemorialChorten, a stupa built in memorial of the third Bhutanese king who passed away at an early age. P.S. Pretty confident this man was squinting due to the bright sun, not due to my camera! #etjourn #etjourninbhutan #etjourninthimpu #bhutandiaries #bhutantravel #bhutantraveller #bhutan_ig

In #Thimpu, traffic police stands at their post to direct traffic from 4 directions. Bhutan had been an isolated nation until quite recently and many are still unfamiliar with the concept of traffic lights, preferring the traditional method of traffic redirecting. The traffic police work in shift in all sorts of weather to make sure that everyone is safe - hats off to them! #etjourn #etjourninbhutan #etjourninthimpu #bhutandiaries #bhutantravel #bhutantraveller #bhutan_ig

Look closer and you'll see the figure of Buddha in the window openings. #etjourn #etjourninbhutan #etjourninparo #bhutandiaries #bhutantravel #bhutantraveller #bhutan_ig #paro #RinpungDzong

A Bhutanese guide explaining the Mandala painted on the walls of #RinpungDzong. The Mandala, drawn as a circle to represent the endless cycle of life, depicted the stages of life - from human world to realms of heaven and hell. It's really difficult to explain succinctly through Instagram caption, but the details that go into the painting itself is a feat in itself. #etjourn #etjourninbhutan #etjourninparo #bhutandiaries #bhutantravel #bhutantraveller #bhutan_ig

Hi everyone, I know @etjourn's been dead for some time due to our offline commitments, but guess what! We (just one of us really) are currently in #Bhutan with a friend, and hopefully we can share a piece of this last Shangri-la through our photos and IG stories! Here, a Bhutanese monk walks towards the monk quarter in #RinpungDzong - a walled fortress housing monks and the local governmental administrative office. Our guide referred to this place as Paro Fortress, but unlike our traditional understanding of a "fortress", the complex mainly houses Paro's Monastic Body and the government administrative offices. #etjourn #etjourninbhutan #etjourninparo #bhutan #paro #bhutandiaries #bhutantravel #bhutantraveller #bhutan_ig
